If you are an international Course Ambassador, please be aware that your working hours are restricted by UK Border Agency Rules. As an international student, you are not permitted to work in excess of 20 hours per week during term time.

It is your personal responsibility to ensure you adhere to this regulation and maximum set number of 20 hours whilst employed as a Student Ambassador for AUB.

You must not accept work that takes you over this limit. Therefore, it is important you keep track of your hours worked.

There is no minimum requirement of hours you need to work per week, you can apply for jobs around your timetable and study commitments. The SA scheme is designed to be flexible, to allow you to work more when you’re perhaps quieter or have finished a hand-in and less at those times when you may have lots of projects to complete.
